UT tried to fire Herman “for cause”?

[TX1551]

Be he’s a world class POS....

You guys really have to stop this Kendra Scott thing.

a. There had been speculation for a while that "red flag" issued had returned and we reported for a while that that there was zero proof of what was being rumored.

b.. I'm told Texas examined every means possible to get out of owing the buyout. Herman is gonna get paid.

Thank you. Teebus.

He made winning hard.

It is so damn hard, hermano. Damn hard.

Having an affair is not generally grounds for termination for an employment contract, unless it was with a student. It not fair to his family or others involced to throw out rumors. He does have children.

+1,000. While we’re at it, why don’t we also join qAnon if we’re going to believe stuff without a single piece of actual evidence 🤨

Doesnt matter what we believe. The parties involved apparently have evidence.

And if even 1 of the 3-4 major indictments they have are true - F Tom.

I don’t believe the KS rumor as I just don’t see how those two could find any time to develop a relationship. Regardless of his lack of success as a coach, the guy worked incredibly long hours with other coaches around, and then had kids and a wife to spend time with. KS runs an international business generating billions of revenue and has 3 kids. How could she find any time?

I suppose I’m just naive as I don’t see how I could ever find the time in my own life for another woman considering I barely have enough time in the day for my career, wife, and 3 kids.

yeah I am with you but people do it all the time. I haven’t heard this but it gave me an “aha” moment about his weight loss.

it’s none of our business and I don’t really care other than hoping it’s not true for the sake of the kids who get damaged in that fallout.

I thought Hartzel did a good job of laying out why firing bad employees and hiring better ones in a performance business justifies the shirt term cost. The optics are bad perhaps given recent staff and salary cuts but overall Texas football generates the revenue.

Luckily it looks like the heat will be off on Shaka or it could have been a very expensive year.

These "rumors" originated on the main board as nothing more than trolling of our fanbase. Congrats on being the idoit who bit on the troll.

The only reason I give it any credence is someone on OB have a Level 2 confirmation.

Yeah, and those have been spot on over the last few months, haven't they?

Ketch made reference UT has been trying for months to fire him based on cause. What’s the cause? I haven’t heard the rumors.

I just heard a rumor, which for ethical reasons, I can't post here. But, it's a big deal.

 

[wfoot]

Obviously, cause he didn't go for the win against Ou.

 

[UT Big Daddy]

I didn't recall that, but you may be correct. If so, it gives even more credence to the thought that they may use the rumored affair against Herman.

Major was involved with a UT student. The two situations are not analogous.

 

[MisterTodd]

Good. So when we hear there is a a $15 million buyout obligation to Herman it's an exaggeration.
He will quickly get job at a lesser program IMO.

If they're smart they will backload the contract like USF did with Strong. Pay next to nothing the first couple of years on UTs dime then the money kicks in.

Blame him for mistreating a player with a concussion. It worked for Tech hosing over Leach......

Right. But maybe UT lawyers learned from their mistake in the Strong contract.

 

[tex17]

Because he’d go for it on 4th and short in the red zone

That's what you should do, though

 

[TW51]

To be fair to the thread, Ketch also said they will end up having to pay the buyout.

Where did Ketch get his law degree from?
